Reaching for Breath

This is really up to interpretation. I don't really know what I was thinking when I wrote it. But I hope it connects with you all in a certain way as it has me.

Drowning in a sea of familiarity, I touch the face of the One I've ignored for too long... Beauty creeping into my searching eyes, Broken, Falling, And seeking an answer... When will hate burn? Don't pretend you aren't in pain... So many lies robbing you of passion, Won't you stand? Fight for all the lost innocence? So sick, Defenseless... Flames dance brightly, A seduction unknown... Your heart lost in a fantasy, Such make-believe intimacy, Didn't you realize the lie all along? Begging for one last night, Loving every softly whispered deception... Enough! Forgotten words wait to steal all of you, Breathing lust slowly down your neck, Hidden behind beautiful features... Intoxication so deadly... Escape out of grasp, Night becomes your Lover... Impossible to resist, In love, Reaching for Breath... And gone. ~

It kind of reminds me of the guy that will tell a girl what he thinks she wants to hear so he can get what he wants. But the girl is smarter than that, and she sees through his fake claims of love. I don't that's just my interpretation of it. Right or wrong, I love it!
